district documents
participants posted projects, I posted some photos, figured out how to send emails to participants, added district TSG forms to be filled out. Experienced one frustration. Lost a whole page but was able to retrieve the information using the history tab. Had trouble with the table function.

Social Bookmarking
Delicious, Museum Box
Spent time exploring possible classroom uses and limits of these tools. Built a personal professional Delicious list at home and have accessed it from "away". Also learned to add a Delicious tab in Firefox so I can instantly add new websites without having to log into Delicious. Not sure after playing with Museum Box if it's going to be useful for me at WIS or not. Need further time to explore that one that I will build into the extra 8 hours of my Web 2.0 project.

Acceptable use policy
Scott Brown shared policies other school districts are using for a starting place for our work.
We shared our Photo/Video disclaimer with our CC and got useful feedback. We also shared with the WIS Staff and implemented it for the parent meetings on the first day of school.

Exploring EDU20.org for class management of teacher study group
EDU20.org classroom management system
I learned how to create an online classroom with Edu 2.0 for my summer TSGs. At the last meeting of one of the groups, we made the decision to continue using it throughout the school year so we would have an online place for our PLC collaboration
